Interest-Rate Risk. Currently the fund has a modified duration of 85 months (or 7.11 years) which is higher than the category median of 62 months (or 5.13 years). The fund has increased the modified duration over the last twelve months. This implies that the fund is likely to be impacted more by interest-rate movements than most of its peers. If RBI cuts rates the fund will benefit more, and if it increases rates it will also lose out more.

Yield to Maturity. The fund has a current yield to maturity (YTM) of 8.31 per cent against the category median of 8.39 per cent. This is the return that the portfolio will yield if held to maturity.

Portfolio Composition. We compared the asset holdings of the fund vis-à-vis the category average in the last one year period. We find that the fund has a lesser allocation than the peer group to cash, certificates of deposit (CDs), Public Sector Units (PSU) and Public Financial Institution (PFI) Bonds and Treasury Bills. The fund has refrained from investing in commercial paper (CPs), deposits, domestic mutual funds, floating rate instruments and pass through certificates (PTCs) and securitised debt.

Over the last 12 months the fund has reduced its exposure to corporate debt by half –from 37 per cent to 18 per cent. It increased the holding of government securities from 40 per cent in February 2012 to almost 80 per cent in January 2013. This was done probably to take advantage of the expected rate cuts by RBI. The fund has also lowered its cash holding from 6 per cent to the current level of 2 per cent.

Expense Ratio. The fund's expense ratio is 1.67 per cent which is lower than the category median of 1.72 per cent. A lower expense ratio is a positive.

Exit Load. The fund's exit load is 1 per cent on or before one year and zero thereafter. While the lock-in period maybe higher than some of its peers, it reflects the fund manager's view that the investor should invest for a minimum period of a year.

Fund Manager. Dinesh Ahuja has managed this fund since January 2011. He also manages SBI Dynamic Bond and SBI Magnum Gilt – Short Term Plan and Long Term Plan, all of which have a good performance in their respective categories. This fund has done really well after he took charge.

Conclusion

The fund is heavy on government securities and high-rated instruments, which leads to lower credit risk. However, its high modified duration makes it susceptible to interest-rate risk.
